IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING UTENSILS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,067, dated March 21, 1876; application filed July 26, 1875. e

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK GATES, of Frankfort, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking Utensils, and that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention is in the nature of an improvement in cooking utensils; and the invention consists in a broiler constructed with gutter-bars combined with asurrounding gutter, the gutter-bars extending over and out of contact with the edge of the surrounding gutter, to which the gutter-bars are secured by standards, the gutter-bars and surrounding gutter being cast or secured together, all substantially in the manner hereinafter described.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure l is a plan or top view of my invention, and Fig. 2 a cross-section of same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures.

A represents the gutter or supporting bars of my broiler. These bars may be arranged circular in form and convex, (as shown in Fig. 2,) or they may be arranged in any other desired manner; and they are grooved or made with channels a, for the purpose of conducting the gravy from the broiling meat. Surrounding the supporting-bars A is a gutter B. This surrounding gutter is in nowise secured to, or comesin contact with, the ends or edges of the supporting-gutters, but, on the contrary, the supporting-gutters rest on standards or legs b, and these standards are cast or otherwise secured to the surrounding gutter as shown in Fig. 2; the edges or ends of the supporting-gutters not coming in contact with the edgts of the supporting-gutter, but extending over its inner edge to the center of the surrounding gutter, as shown in Fig. 2. The surrounding gutter may be provided with a spout, G, and handle, D. Now, when the meat is being broiled upon my broiler, the gravy accumulating in the channels of the supporting-bars A will gravitate and flow into the surrounding gutter, where it will accumulate until wanted, when it is poured off through the spout c; and not only will the gravy find its way into the channels of the supporting-bars, but all the gravy that has collected on the bottom of the bars in drops W111 also freely run into the receivingtrough, for the ends of the bars A not coming in contact with the edge of the receivingtrough B, this gravy is not checked in its delivery to the trough, but it is delivered fairly within it. In broilers of ordinary construction this gravy is lost, for it strikes the edge of the receiving-trough and runs down the outside of it into the fire or onto the stove, where it is lost.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein-described broiler, composed of gutter-bars elevated above or separated from the surrounding gutter, but made in one piece with said gutter by posts, substantially as shown and described.

FREDERICK GATES.
